As an inveterate cat hound, lol, proud parent to Lion (New Hampshire born, 1982); Lucy and sister Nelly (Washington, D.C. born 1996) and currently Yolanda (Harlem born feral, 2008), I can say this photo montage you’ve put together is a Winner. Thanks for giving us a well-earned break from the world of sucky humans.

wait for it, TC. Two Fun Facts. #1 Back in my youth (mid to late twenties) this reader of Another Fine Mess failed FLAT National Geographic's copyediting test to write captions. Captions! Failed the test not once, but twice, and gloriously.

Then, perhaps as a reminder that it could have been worse many, many years later, when I published my first book, I had a final copy editor who--seriously--went straight through my manuscript and changed every single semi-colon to a dash. This is a true story.

I am either ashamed or terribly proud to report, knowing that it would go from there directly to the printer, I went right back through and changed them all back.

You, sir, are a marvel. Your book sounds exciting and, having read enough here to be aware of your skills in the comfortable handling of language and ideas, I will look forward to reading it.

What a parade of cats. Thank God they can read; it does broaden one's horizon.
